in case it comes to this...mismatched bridesmaid dresses:

i think these weddings all look so fun and pretty and relaxed

boutonniere

i can't remember what these are called, but we used them as filler flowers in a lot of arrangements when i worked in the floral dept. at jewel, and they're cheap b/c there's so many flowers on each stem. and they smell a little like lemons. i've always thought they were really pretty.

cornhusk flowers

i like these because they look rustic, i can do them ahead of time, and they're cheap. do you think they're cool or cheesy?

what about something like this? do you think it's too casual? it's an anthropologie dress that's $98. it could look cute with the yellow and white asters and the daisies in the succulent bouquet. i was thinking wine dresses would be too dark if we go with those bouquets. you don't all have to go with this exact dress i'm just still trying to decide on colors.

these centerpieces are cool.

i like the idea of having them ready ahead of time.

all we'd have to do is set them on the tables

we wouldn't have to mess with arranging bouquets

the day of the wedding.

i found a seller on etsy who gives you 50 clippings for $50.

i like the succulents in teacups

Flower Duet Makes a Succulent Bridal Bouquet

This wouldn't be too hard to make. Katie and I bought six different succulent plants today and are going to propagate them for the centerpieces. They only take a couple months to grow.

oh my god i am so jealous.

I also love this dress! I think it's really fun but everyone would have to wear the same dress i think if we picked this one. I know it's pretty sassy- do you think it's too much? I want everyone to be comfortable. Me and Annie were looking at it and it's only tight on top and at the small of your waist. If you watch the video you can see there are pockets and it's looser lower down. It's a little more expensive than the other ones. It's $200-$250. There's also a cute flower girl dress that matches!

I like all of these styles in wine. What do you think about having different lengths? I'm not sure how I feel yet. They are all under $200.

Invites

the dancing couple (above) reminds me of the print you did of the old square dancers. this whole wedding is really pretty.

the invitations are about the only interesting thing from this wedding.

i love how fresh and clean (so fresh and so clean clean!) the above wedding is. and the groom's name is Joost, which is funny.

Liking the smaller sprigs of flowers in multiple jars and bottles instead of one large centerpiece...

bridesmaids

just an example of how different dresses

in the same color family could be really

pretty and cohesive.

Also, Modcloth has some cute dresses sometimes. But it seems the cutest ones sell out quickly, and there aren't usually a large quantity of each dress. Just something to keep in mind.

lights!!

alice, put your sweet vintage typewriter to work!

woodsy tablescapes / centerpieces

from Once Wed

Alice, the bark-y pieces of wood could also work, if you have trouble finding driftwood. You also were talking last night about feathers, and some feathers in the flower arrangements could be cool. And your idea for glass jars to hold the arrangements is way better than these dumb crystal vases!
















these little mini-logs are cute, too. Also probably easy to amass for little to no cost (think: Ron Halquist).















candles beside brown glass bottles = really lovely table lighting.
